Chapter 159 - The battle of Divine Wood King Cauldron
After careful consideration, Xingzi knew that it was impossible to suppress Ling Xiao with the matter of Chen Zi, so he gave up on this idea.
"Sect Master Ling, I know this matter is very serious, our astrologer definitely did not take the initiative to participate in this attack. This is all because of my junior brother, so seeing that Sect Master Ling is fine, I am very pleased." Starpicker changed from her previous attitude and said extremely politely to Ling Xiao.
After hearing these words, Ling Xiao naturally did not bother with them anymore. He nodded and said: "astrologer's attitude is also not bad, I am also a reasonable person, since you did not assign this to me, then I cannot push the responsibility to you."
Starpicker's expression did not relax because of Ling Xiao's words, because he had an even more important thing to do, and that was to retrieve the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
"Sect Master Ling, look, the misunderstanding has already been resolved. Shouldn't you return the treasures of our astrologer?" Starpicker looked at Ling Xiao and asked carefully.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but let out a few light laughs, and said: "Starpicker, you are also a Eldest Brother of the astrologer, you should have handled quite a few disputes, shouldn't you understand it clearly in your heart?"
Hearing this, Starpicker's face couldn't help but turn red. He understood Ling Xiao's meaning, this was a mortal son's fault in the first place, not to mention that he didn't have any conditions on his side. It wasn't logical for him to want to take back the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Furthermore, he had already tied up Ling Xiao's men. Just from this point, it was hard for Starpicker to take a single step.
"Sect Master Ling, but you should be clear about what this Divine Wood King Cauldron means to our astrologer." Starpicker said with an ugly expression.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "I am naturally clear about it, so naturally, I brought along a Divine Wood King Cauldron this time."
Hearing this, Starpicker's face lit up, and he quickly said: "May I ask what Sect Master Ling wants? As long as our astrologer is able to take it out, we will definitely give it to you."
However, Ling Xiao merely smiled and shook his head, then said: "Starpicker, you are underestimating me, could it be that you will come looking for me for some gold and silver treasure?"
"That Sect Master Ling must be here for Miss Ah Zi. Don't worry, she is just staying in her room, she isn't tied up nor is she abused, and she is entertaining food and drink to her heart's content. I can assure you that not a single strand of hair has been touched."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Alright, I will remember this. Since Miss Ah Zi is fine and adding that the misunderstanding was earlier, this matter is settled.
When Xing Zi saw that Ling Xiao still had no intentions to return the Divine Wood King Cauldron, he became so anxious that he started sweating profusely. The other party was after all a bunch of Beggar Gangs's masters, and he was merely a Eldest Brother.
"Sect Master Ling, if you have any other needs, just say them out, don't make things difficult for me anymore." Starpicker said in a voice that was tinged with tears. He finally spoke in a tone that was tinged with honorifics.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he pretended to not understand and opened his eyes wide, asking back: "Star Seizer, what do you mean by that? I do not understand."
When Starpicker heard this, he lost all his temper. He had never thought that such a young man could be so shrewd. This was not the style and experience of a young man.
"Alright, Sect Master Ling, I will be frank, Divine Wood King Cauldron are really important to us, no matter what price we have to pay, Divine Wood King Cauldron must stay in astrologer." Starpicker looked at Ling Xiao, his expression serious.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and say indifferently: "What if I'm not willing to hand it over?"
Starpicker's expression tightened, he obviously did not think that Ling Xiao would speak of it so bluntly.
"Sect Master Ling, I hope you will not make things difficult for me. If I am unable to get back the Divine Wood King Cauldron today …" Starpicker said with some difficulty.
"What if I can't get it back?" Hearing that, Ling Xiao became interested, he wanted to see what the astrologer was going to do to him.
Hearing this, Xing Zi took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Then we can only let Sect Master Ling experience the astrologer's great formation. We definitely won't let the Divine Wood King Cauldron go like this."
"Divine Wood King Cauldron is a treasure of the astrologer. If you do not have the Divine Wood King Cauldron, then the astrologer will no longer have a weapon that can intimidate others." Xingzi added with a serious expression.
Looking at the excited Starpicker, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Alright, alright, do I look like such a tyrannical and unreasonable person?"
"In other words, Sect Master Ling agreed to return the Divine Wood King Cauldron to me?" Starpicker asked hopefully when he heard this.
However, Ling Xiao shook his head once again, and said: "I am not planning on handing it over to you like this."
Starpicker was anxious and could not help but scratch his head and say, "Sect Master Ling, this kind of stalemate is not a solution!"
Ling Xiao spread out his hands and said: "Of course I can't waste my time like this, so I thought of a good idea."
Hearing this, Starpicker hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Please speak, Sect Master Ling."
But after he finished speaking, Xing Zi regretted his decision. He had clearly given the opportunity to Ling Xiao, and what if Ling Xiao gave him conditions that would be beneficial to him.
When facing Ling Xiao, Starpicker felt an inexplicable pressure, so when he heard that Ling Xiao was willing to negotiate, he was actually very happy in his heart.
"You said that the Divine Wood King Cauldron cannot leave the astrologer, and at the same time, you said that it cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Starpicker immediately felt his heart tighten. What sort of trick was this?
"Sect Master Ling, you are the leader of a gang. You cannot joke with me." Xingzi quickly waved his hand and said.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he smiled and said: "I didn't say that I want to join the astrologer; I just wanted to be your Eldest Brother."
When Starpicker heard that, he immediately frowned and cupped his fists: "Sect Master Ling, even if you want to use this method to take away the Divine Wood King Cauldron, you don't even know how to use the Great Manipulation of Transformation. What is the use of you fighting over the Divine Wood King Cauldron?"
However, Ling Xiao smiled mysteriously, and said: "Star Seizer, do you agree or not to this request of mine?"
